I don't find that much happpening in the world of notebooks/laptops to be too interesting lately. Sure, they get cheaper and faster, but there's nothing really new happening in the space. Tablets are interesting, they're new.. PDAs are often cool and have interesting features but noteboooks? Boring.

This one, however, deserves some mention - mostly becuase Acer got their priorities right...

"... maximum user-friendliness with the acceptable weight and lengthy battery life. Multimedia features are of the secondary importance. "

They were thinking of the user - not the ego of the geekboy that designed it.
